Improvements and New Features

Tuple funs (a two-element tuple with a module name and a
function) are now officially deprecated and will be
removed in R16. Use 'fun M:F/A' instead. To make
you aware that your system uses tuple funs, the very
first time a tuple fun is applied, a warning will be sent
to the error logger.

The size of the code generated by yecc has been
reduced.

A note regarding the includefile option:
although yecc can cope with includefiles based on some
earlier yeccpre.hrl it is recommended for
efficiency reasons to update includefiles as to follow
the pattern in the latest yeccpre.hrl.
